Chapter 4③: Guardian Divinities and Guardian Spirits
Although many people have debated whether human nature is good or evil, there is neither good nor evil in the original nature of a human being.
A human being simply tries to put the creativity of infinite light (God) into action and to manifest the shape of God objectively.
Good and evil are the interweaving and crossing of light and shadow that occur until God manifests Itself throughout the phenomenal world (subconscious and physical worlds).
The shapes and actions that appear to be evil (shadow) are momentary phenomena that appear just when a greater good (light) is about to manifest itself.
Even the shapes and actions that appear to be good are momentary phenomena that occur while a greater, all inclusive good, or light, is in the process of manifesting itself.
As we have seen in the previous chapter, while they were in the process of creating the subconscious and physical worlds, so as to manifest the creativity of the Universal God with myriad beams of light, the individual spirits gradually lost sight of their true nature amidst the karmic causes that they had generated with their thought waves.
At a glance this seems to be a mistake on the part of God, who has infinite wisdom. Since many people may have doubts on this point, I would like to explain it briefly.
This stands on the same principle as the previous explanation of light and shadow.
In other words, good is not simply good; evil is not simply bad.
At one time during the creative process, individual spirits appear to be tossed about in the karmic causes and effects of the physical body and to have lost sight of their true nature. This is only the process whereby the individual spirits try to project the creation of the Universal God into the phenomenal world (subconscious and physical worlds), as directed to by the Direct Spirit from God.
However, from the beginning it was the plan of the Direct Spirit to rescue the individual spirits, who were agonizing in the above process, and to purify the physical world and let it manifest the will of the Universal God. Therefore, each Direct Spirit divided out its light, creating Guardian Divinities for the individual spirits. These Guardian Divinities freed from the waves of karmic causes and effects those spirits who had been engaged in the creation of the physical world at the beginning. These freed individual spirits became Guardian Spirits, and came to take charge of protecting, under the guidance of the Guardian Divinities, the junior individual spirits, their descendants, who continued to work in the physical world. The earlier, more experienced spirits became Guardian Spirits in turn, and finally more than one Guardian Spirit came to be assigned to each person. This still continues today (refer to Figure 3).

Since primitive times, the history of struggle after struggle and agony after agony has kept repeating itself. Even at present, a hellish age, marked by the fear of war and the sufferings of ageing, disease, poverty, and other agonies, still seems to continue.
However, the fact that there have been many saints and great people during these times who have contributed to humanity means that human beings, who are individual spirits from God, have sensed the work of the Guardian Divinities and Spirits, and have worked extensively in cooperation with them.
This power has greatly accelerated the development of spiritual culture and material civilization.
As the communication between Guardian Divinities, Guardian Spirits and individual spirits increases, this world will proceed toward true development.
At present, however, we are still in the process.
In the future, after passing through this stage, the world of physical human beings is sure to become a perfectly harmonized world of light, just as in the divine plan.
So no matter how helplessly close to destruction the present situation may appear, you need not be at all pessimistic or desperate.
If only each person earnestly keeps accomplishing his or her own role, the day will surely come when you and the world will rise above this situation. I am absolutely certain that the day is close.
